Winter is upon us, and we look forward to snow days where we live. Everything shuts down, and we get to watch the wildlife in the snow, from the comfort of our warm and cozy home. I wanted to do a snow globe shadow box for this month’s winter home décor project. I like to have a seasonal centerpiece for our table, and this one works perfectly. This reminds me of what we see in our front yard when we get freshly fallen snow.

Are you looking for a quick home décor and personalized project? Why not take a plain Christmas stocking and personalize it. I love unique projects that are easy to create using the Pazzles die cutting machine.

The holidays are aglow with lights: colorful Christmas lights, tiny, twinkling fairy lights and candlelight. Make this beautiful triangle tree luminary to add a modern touch to your home. This month's project pattern gives you options to create holiday themed luminaries. Included are several everyday designs so that you can enjoy your luminary well into the new year.

The front door on this box opens to reveal a hidden compartment and the two-side windows are also boxes so you can give your recipient a triple treat. I was thinking hot cocoa in the center, mini marshmallows in one window and candy canes in the other window box. I also think the front door box would make a wonderful treat box for a new homeowner!

This gingerbread man/woman box is just cute as can be. Though I’ve given you several choices in decorations, you can also make your own custom decorations. Maybe a heart instead of buttons. Let your children decorate the gingerbread man/woman topper how they like before gluing it onto the box top (think glitter…lots of glitter…lol) to give to a teacher or grandparent.

I am always looking for small gifts to give to friends, my kid’s teachers, neighbors etc. So I made three boxes that will let me give them treats in packaging that I know will be original. Over the weekend I will be sharing a new box with you every day, starting with today! Come back tomorrow and Sunday for my gingerbread man and front door boxes that I think you will love just as much!

Last year I looked through all of my massive cutting file collection trying to find a 3D Nativity project. I couldn’t find any suitable ones, so I purchased a few, but I wasn’t happy with the way they turned out. So this year I decided to create my own 3D file using a nice layered Nativity Scene that I found in the Pazzles Craft Room.

This project was inspired by a light box board that I saw at local store. I thought I could make something similar to put Christmas sayings and images on using vinyl. It can be also used to count the days until Christmas with acrylic pieces, that would be more durable, for the count down numbers.

I love the winter holidays. This layout will work well for the December page of my calendar, with its large, lacy snowflake, frilly 3D layered snowflakes, and Breezy Swirl that I found in the Pazzles Craft Room Library.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Pazzles! We are so grateful for you, our customers and friends, who have supported and shared with us year after year. As a way to say thank you and show our gratitude, we have three custom pie designs just for you! I have been having so much fun using my Pastry Tool to make pies. They are so easy and every single one has been so pretty.

It is that time of year again. Time to create some one-of-a-kind special cards for those few special people. I used Pazzles Stencil Material and the files I created from the Poinsettia Stencil card file exclusively in the Pazzles Craft Room.

I love sending hand crafted Christmas cards. It is like sending a bit of myself to my friends far and near. Lately, though, I just don’t have the time or energy for the detailed cards I used to make. Instead I want to create a simple card that is classic and elegant.

This is one of those special kind of projects that takes very minimal effort for really big results. I do not have the words for how excited I am to share this with you! Cutting pie crust is one of the EASIEST things I have ever cut on the Pazzles Inspiration and there are so many fun things you can do. I feel like I have only begun to scratch the surface.

Just in time for the Christmas early birds, we've got a fun new Christmas card collection to release today. Based off our popular Fun Folds Collections, this is a Christmas Fun Fold Collection. All 10 of the brand new card designs feature clever folds and unique design elements that will make receiving these cards as fun as making them.

My daughter came home from an activity a few weeks ago with a super cool folded dimensional snowflake. It was unlike anything I'd seen before. She created it by folding and cutting several pieces of paper and then gluing them together in cool patterns. I knew immediately these would be a hit with grownup kids too, so I created a few for you to cut out.

Christmas is a time when precious memories are made. Most of us snap photos as a way to preserve the feeling of that special time. If you are like me you take hundreds of digital photos! But, do you ever get them off of the memory disk, print them and put them on a scrapbook page? I have to admit that it seems like I rarely get around to making the pages that I envision when I pose my family for a photo.
This year, I plan to break that pattern of procrastination and get those photos printed and down on a page. In anticipation of that resolution, I have designed four different scrapbook pages for this month's Project pattern
